Suspected sockpuppets

Repeated creation of ActivTrak which the latest sock has recreated as Birch Grove Software with the sources' dates accessed corresponding to the date of the last creation of ActivTrak. The behavioral evidence gives a loud Quack! but given the opportunity to clarify with a uw-agf-sock warning Dmelow denies the connection, Special:Diff/774120727. Is Cambrody's last edit in December too far back for CU? Cabayi (talk) 12:27, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Hi, i have previously submitted for Activtrak once a few month ago. After it got deleted, i tried to rewrite it in a proper way adding information and notable third party independent sources as references. This time i submitted the article for the company, Birch Grove Software, of which ActivTrak is one of the products. I have no connection with the other accounts mentioned. I have only one account.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * This is likely tied into undisclosed paid editors...here's more:
 * Special:Undelete/Moko_Social_Media has Cambrody commenting on co-workers by first names and that they no longer work there.
 * Voxbone is an article that they have succeeded with marketing on...and more socks that I haven't listed.
 * REC*IT is another one they succeeded with.

Giving a poke in case this looks familiar. I'm sure there's going to be more to this one. Leaving for further investigation. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  23:22, 20 April 2017 (UTC) More: — Berean Hunter   (talk)  23:33, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Roger Janik (they succeeded) and Richard W Turner they didn't.
 * is theirs.
 * This history suggests that this is tied to Sockpuppet investigations/Aulonocara.

 * Sorry no, this case isn't familiar to me, neither the editors nor the articles they were into. Looks like knows about Aulonocara aka  and Donald Gary Young, though. It's probably coincidental, and very stale, but I tied another Utah MLM spammer to  here. - Bri (talk) 00:17, 21 April 2017 (UTC)


 * this is messy. Suggesting several other possibly-related investigations in the middle of the original is a bit confusing to me, I think it would have been better to file the Moko Social Media accounts as a separate case, or at WP:COIN, but I'll do my best. This is a behavioural analysis; CheckUser will be unhelpful as nearly all of the accounts are stale.
 * Antonseidler: from my review I find it at best possible-to-unlikely that is 's sock. The version of ActivTrak that Dmelow first created in their sandbox  is not substantially similar to the version that Antonseidler asked to be undeleted three years before (, admins only) nor the version which was deleted at AfD a little more than a month before Dmelow started editing (, admins only). However, I do find it likely that Dmelow has an undisclosed paid editing connection, and I encourage them to rectify that situation as soon as possible.

 * Moko Social Media: I find that
 * are all related to the point of meatpuppetry (see the deleted history of Moko Social Media for evidence) but not necessarily the same person. None have edited within the last year so at this point I'm disinclined to block. I feel that Kaylainserra is probably a PR editor who has been hired to write articles for years, who was hired by Moko, and I'm going to throw this over to WP:COIN myself as there's likely a big cleanup job to do.

 * BlueLily Studios: I find that
 * has edited logged out as, and has likely failed to disclose paid edits.
 * They haven't edited since December and so I'm also disinclined to block at this time.


 * Aulonocara: the accounts that Berean Hunter's history connects are accounts that were found to be connected to each other but unrelated to Aulonocara, and no separate case was created at the time. The two-edit crossover between Michael Barrett's IP and those two unrelated accounts doesn't scream sockpuppetry to me.
 * I believe that's all for now. I've also listed REC*IT at AfD, and Roger Janik was deleted by someone else before I got here. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:26, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Just a procedural note: since all of Kaylainserra's contribs other than REC*IT were already deleted, I've declined to post at COIN. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:46, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
